Meet the breeder

I'm the breeder behind Elk Ridge Australian Shepherds located in Banks, OR. I'm the Breeder behind Elk Ridge Aussies. I live on a 17 acre farm where I raise Australian Shepherds, Hay and Garlic! I work to raise and train Australian Shepherds in Agility, Dock Diving, Conformation and Obedience. I strive to raise happy, healthy puppies who are outstanding representatives of the breed!
